Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the TFM-130-02-F-D offer for board stacking?
The TFM-130-02-F-D uses a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch with 60 total positions in a dual-row, 30-per-row layout. The body measures 1.625 inches (41.3 mm) in length and 0.225 inches (5.72 mm) in breadth, enabling dense interconnection in mezzanine and daughter-card designs with limited board area.
Why does TFM-130-02-F-D use gold flash on mating contacts instead of full gold plating?
Gold flash (typically 0.05 µm to 0.15 µm Au) provides a corrosion-resistant mating surface at lower cost than heavy gold plating. For board stacking applications with moderate insertion cycles, gold flash over the Tiger Eye contact geometry delivers contact resistance below 20 mΩ while reducing precious metal cost compared to 0.76 µm or thicker hard gold finishes used in high-cycle connectors.
In which rugged or high-reliability environments is TFM-130-02-F-D well suited?
The TFM-130-02-F-D's phosphor bronze contacts with nickel barrier and gold flash finish tolerate operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C as specified for SAMTEC Tiger Eye series, making it appropriate for military-grade electronics, avionics, and industrial automation controllers where thermal cycling and vibration resistance are critical.
How does the 0.050 inch pitch of TFM-130-02-F-D compare to standard 0.100 inch pitch headers for space-constrained designs?
At 1.27 mm pitch, TFM-130-02-F-D achieves twice the signal density per millimeter of board edge compared to 2.54 mm pitch headers. A 60-position dual-row 1.27 mm connector occupies roughly half the length of an equivalent-count 2.54 mm part, saving approximately 20 mm of board real estate in high-density modules such as FPGA mezzanine cards and SOM carrier boards.
